Hi,

Our current java does not support swing. To reproduce, first install
java and clojure. Then start the clojure repl by running:
$ ~/.guix-profile/bin/java -cp ~/.guix-profile/share/java/clojure-1.8.0.jar clojure.main

Then try the repl by typing:
=> (+ 1 2 3)
6

Now run:
=> (javax.swing.JOptionPane/showMessageDialog nil "Hello World")
NullPointerException sun.awt.FontConfiguration.getVersion (FontConfiguration.java:1264)

Note that the above test case is taken from

In contrast, if we replace ~/.guix-profile/bin/java by /usr/bin/java in
the command, we do not get a nullpointerexception (my base distro is
debian testing). So there should be a problem in our java build. Any
ideas?

Thanks,
Alex

Yeah, openjdk-8 loads fontconfig via dlopen.

Fixed in commit cab1760de.
